A member asked:
Is a gaba supplement safe to take for anxiety? does it have side effects? can it make depression worse? looking for a safe alt to benzos.

Anxiety Tx: Has your treating professional done a sufficient trial of either Cymbalta, BuSpar, (buspirone) or Prozac? All of these medications are approved for the treatment of anxiety and are not benzodiazepines.
